That's entirely subjective; personally, I think that ODST and Reach were some of the best Halo games, and they're the two most recent incarnations. I'm willing to bet there are many who feel that there have not been a single game in at least one of the noted series that they did not enjoy. So you may feel that there is no best series, and you would be correct; another may feel that Mario is the best series, and they are also correct. That's how opinions work.

They have the same "story", gameplay, and usually graphics every year, just with different names on the virtual jerseys. That's not really a franchise, just one really expensive game that comes on multiple discs.

It was surprising to see Call Of Duty left off this list since it is one of the top selling franchises of all time with at least 73 million copies sold, closing in on Madden NFL and Sonic - and likely flying by them with MW3. They will then be shooting for the 8 game franchises to sell over 100 million copies, only 3 of which made your list of options...

I am obviously too old, because when I think console games I think Asteroids. Then Sinistar- does anyone remember that, you're trying to mine asteroids for bombs, kill little ships, and then comes this HUGE VOICE "Sinistar is Coming, HaHaHaHaHaHa"
Very Creepy, especially (I understand without personal knowledge) if one was a bit f***ed up!
But my first game was pong, my brother & I played for HOURS.
So 1 vote for Asteroids.
